The effects of the introduction of a high-nutrient transitional formula on growth and development of very-low-birth-weight infants.
Article in Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThe purpose of this study was to determine the impact of introducing a high-nutrient transitional formula (TF) for use after discharge on the growth and development of premature infants. STUDY DESIGN AND
methodsThis was a cohort study of all surviving infants with a birth weight < or =1250 g admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between January 1, 1995 and December 31, 1996. Infants with major congenital abnormalities were excluded. There were 180 infants discharged, including 66 on TF and 114 on standard formulas for full-term infants.
resultsUse of TF started the week before discharge, and increased from 10% in 1995 to 66% in 1996 (p<0.001). Regression analyses controlling for multiple confounders identified TF as a significant contributor to improved weight at 3 months and length at 18 months. Bayley developmental scores were not affected.
conclusionIntroduction of a TF for very-low-birth-weight infants resulted in improved growth after discharge.
